INSTALLATION
Before Installing
Unpacking the Refrigerator
WARNING
• Use two or more people to move and install
the refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in
back injury or other injury.
• The refrigerator is heavy. Protect the floor
when moving the refrigerator for cleaning or
service. Always pull the refrigerator straight
out when moving it. Do not wiggle or walk the
refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor
damage could occur.
• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such
as gasoline, away from the refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion,
or death.
NOTE
• Remove tape and any temporary labels from
your refrigerator before using. Do not remove
any warning labels, the model and serial number
label, or the Tech Sheet that is located under the
front of the refrigerator.
• To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub
the area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue
residue can also be easily removed by rubbing
a small amount of liquid dish soap over the
adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm
water and dry cotton.
• Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,
flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove
tape or glue. These products can damage the
surface of your refrigerator.
Choosing the Proper
Location

Hz, AC, 15 Amps minimum.
WARNING
• Do not overload house wiring and cause a
fire hazard by plugging in multiple appliances
in the same outlet with the refrigerator.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
install the refrigerator in a wet or damp area.
Flooring
To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be
installed on a solidly constructed floor.
NOTE
• Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces, a
platform or weakly supported structure is not
recommended.
